IDEAL MCM TESTER GFI CIRCUIT Questions & Answers
How do i correct ground
You have the hot wire going to the silver terminal and the grounded wire (neutral) going to the gold terminal You need to reverse the. Hot (Black or Red wire to Gold terminal and the White wire to the Silver terminal.
I''ve gotta small issue with an electrical outlet
GFCI receptacles are polarized and connecting them correctly is critical. The hot wire should be black, blue, red, etc. The neutral should be white or natural gray. The ground should be green (if equipped).
Also, it's common to have other receptacles in a kitchen wired "downstream" of a GFCI so that if the GFCI trips or there is an issue with another non GFCI outlet, you're still protected.
Check all outlets in the kitchen and be sure they are wired correctly and in good shape. Unplug everything while you test. If the GFCI still trips, start looking for loose neutrals or bad ground wiring (or no ground) at the other receptacles since you said you already checked the breaker box.
A coffee maker can be a cuplrit that causes a GFCI to trip since it is a heating device and uses water, which can make them more susceptible to electrical problems. Check the microwave too (if equipped).
Electrical issue
Depending on how old your townhouse is, code should dictate that all "wet areas", be GFI protected. In most cases the GFI will not be in the box, but somewhere on the circuit, an outlet that has a GFI reset. You know that the main and master baths are on that circuit, check those outlets for the reset. If none have it, there is likely another outlet somewhere that does. Sometimes one will be in a crawl space or outside. Do you have any outlets out back? In an attic? A utility room? Good Luck! I hope you find this to be very helpful!
Understanding Outlet Circuit Test Results
open ground=ground wire (green) is not connected to the circuit box ground or to the earth ground.
(there should have steel rod place in the ground by the local electric company, and gtound wire is connected to that rod).
Open Neutral= same as open ground. unless you are testing 240V, which have 2 hot (110v) and a neutral (0V).
Open Hot= open 110v line (black)
hot/ground reversed= if you understand the above, then this sould be self explaintory.
same a hot/neu. reverse.
if you don't understand how electric wiring works, My suggestion is to stay out.
Testing household outlets with 3 light tester
Have you tried to determine if the problem outlets might be controlled by a wall-switch? This could be the case if separate black wires coming into the box are being used for the different outlets.

Conlog Hi Ola-daniels, Please see below steps to assist with RFCON error :
* Press the Back arrow on the keypad - this step is to refresh the UIU ( the device)
* Type # 75 # - this is to check the signal strength
If it does not go back to the normal display
*Type # 80 # - this is to refresh the meter
Then lastly you can repair the meter and the UIU by # 36 #
The above steps will work better if you are outside the house because the meters uses the radio frequency connection
The above error will occur in instances of bad weather conditions or if there is load shedding or power failure
If the problem persists after trying the above you may contact the municipality or the service provider."
